Life - Poem by chize ryan ogunkah

living in full existence what is life? some moments of laughterthe euphoria of existingthose times when three wishes wished unendingwhen companionship isthe tool for growthwhen the number two is neededfor a work preceededwhen those words come free flowing and

-suddenly a bridge-

when an opportunity to say goodbye never comeswhen across the linea helping hand is benignwhen loved ones go senileand the heart is torn in shredswithout amendment in all life's treadswhen those free flowing words become aridand mixed helping hands amidstwhen the clock strikes nineand affection, nowhere to findwhen the doorbell brings no surprisesand the car honk a stranger's cause

Tomorrowwhat does thou holdwill thou turn my object of causewill my wound tomorrow healand my sorrow sealwill those words flow like the streamand once more from life have a gleam

a race with life's characterswill i no more matterwill i stumble by one of life's hitchesif by favour i have its richeswhich will make me wanton's joyand not halloween's coywill it the vacuum filled by airand once more affection stirwill that lurking stranger become my hangerand twilight's princess become my incense
